Existing Pipe Frame

Look down a roof with an old pipe run and you'll see the same thing every time: a line of blocks sitting on the membrane, each one wearing its own spot. The pipe works. The support is the problem. Existing Pipe Frame bracing ties the frame back to U-Anchor® bases, so the run stays exactly where it is and the load comes off the roof surface. The U-Anchor® is a component of the roof, and it installs years after the roof goes on as easily as with it.

The assembly from every angle

An existing pipe frame secured to 2000 Series U-Anchors.

How it works

It starts with a U-Anchor®, a component of the roof, sealed watertight at the point of attachment. Everything else connects your equipment to that one point.

Available configurations
The anchor
2000 Series

The part that carries the load. A galvanized steel plate with rolled edges that protect the membrane sits under a cover membrane matched to the roofing brand, type, and color, leaving a stainless stud at the surface for everything else to bolt to. Which one you use is decided by the membrane on the building, not by the equipment.

The kit

What connects your equipment to that stud. Supplied with the solution, and sold on its own where a job needs more of them.

The fittings

Existing frame (by others) — fitted to the equipment itself rather than to the roof.

Why it works

WATERTIGHT
The bracing lands on U-Anchor® bases with a Compression-Free™ seal, so the roof assembly and its warranty stay intact. The blocks come off the membrane and nothing new sits on it.
ENGINEERED
Bracing engineered for the frame that's already there. The existing structure stays in place and stays in service. The kit adds the attached connection it never had, without cutting the pipe or rebuilding the frame.
PROVEN
Installed on commercial roofs nationwide, across every common membrane. The same attachment method carrying new pipe runs on those roofs secures the existing ones.
